Happy birthday to Elton John. The icon and activist turned 70 years old on Saturday\u00a0and celebrated with a star-studded fundraiser\u00a0benefiting the Elton John AIDS Foundation and the Hammer Museum at UCLA.<\/p>\n
NME reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n Taking place in Los Angeles on Saturday, the bash saw Gaga and Wonder team up for a rendition of his classic single \u2018Happy Birthday\u2019 from \u2018Hotter Than July\u2019 \u2013 but changing the lyrics to \u201cHappy birthday Elton\u201d.<\/p>\n The party also saw Gaga perform a piano-only mini-set featuring the likes of \u2018Bad Romance\u2019 and \u2018Born This Way\u2019, while the guestlist including Katy Perry, Jon Hamm, James Corden, Rob Lowe, Roseanne Cash, Chris Cornell and many more also enjoyed Sir Elton\u2019s friend and collaborator Ryan Adams covering his seminal single \u2018Rocket Man\u2019 \u2013 which the pair have performed together many times in the past.<\/p>\n Discussing his birthday on Zane Lowe\u2019s Beats 1 Radio show, Sir Elton said: \u201cSome people don\u2019t like birthdays, they don\u2019t like celebrating, they don\u2019t want to know about them, and I\u2019ve always enjoyed my birthday\u2026 Seventy sounds so archaic, doesn\u2019t it? When I was growing up, 70 sounded like the end of the world. But things have changed \u2014 you\u2019re only as old as you feel inside.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The post Elton John Turned 70 and Got a \u2018Happy Birthday\u2019 Serenade from Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder: WATCH<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
